MARKT GLOBAL LOTTERY AWARD
January 24, 2008
Filed under Email Scams, People
After reading a little more into this email that was sent I checked around and saw we weren’t the only “winners” for this “International Lottery”. See below. When I emailed back and asked if this was for real this is the response I got. How do we stop this?
Attn;

Hanz Daniel
Is this for real?

It’s interesting how they did not even answer your question directly (or at all)…
This is a scam. It’s a variotion of this one:

It’s Hanz Daniel again who supposedly “processes” your claims… but they changed their email address. That’s because the older address has been posted as scam and this time they’re trying to get away with it by using another set of email address to scam folks.

I recieived a check today with a letter saying I won the international lotto. The check was for 45,000.00. the name on it is Sibley & Associates Inc. in Burlington, ON L7N 3g7 and also on the check is TD Canada Trust Commerical Banking Centre In Toronto,ON M5H 3L5. The letter said to deposit it into my bank account and to e-mail to psd@financier.com after I deposit it anf they would verfiy it and give inforation for payment instructions. I call Sibley & Associates at 1-416-824-5126 and they said the check was for the taxes and procssing fee and I would receive the 2.5 million after I did all this. I would like to know if this is real or a scam. Please e-mail me and let me know. thanks Lynda
Lynda,
Yes it’s a scam. In most cases, they will ask you to deposit the check and then IMMEDIATELY wire them a certain percentage of the amount (usually by Western Union, unless they have discovered other methods by now).
Check funds usually clear in about 3-5 days. Problem is, it doesn’t clear the bank because the check was FAKE to begin with. By this time, you would have already wired them your REAL money… so they get the real cash while you ended up with the fake one so you get nothing. They win, you lose!
You can get in trouble with your bank and with the law (for depositing a fraudulent check)
– unless you can prove that you were the one that was scammed and that you weren’t trying to scam the bank…
My friend just received one of these checks also for $150,000 and is waiting for it to clear the bank. I am advising him to turn them over to the FBI
2/22/08
I have just recieved a check for 96,000.00 off the Royal Bank of Canada and the company DSM NeoResins Inc.730 main st.Wilmington Mass.they gVE ME A NUMBER TO CALL 1-414-893-2645 WHICH i CALLED AND THEY SAID THAT I WON 2.2 MILLION AND THAT THE ABOVE AMOUNT WAS WHAT I HAD TO PAY BACK THE CHECK LOOKS REAL AND HAS 2 SIGNATURES ON IT.
THERE IS FBI AGENTS IN OUR TOWN SHOULD I SHOW THEM THIS?
Yes, you should show them.
They will provide you a working telephone number to call because that makes it more believable. Remember, in all these cases, the check looks genuine… but is not!
Don’t ever send them your money! They’ll end up with a real lump sum of your REAL money, and you end up with nothing from their fake check!
on the 14th of march I have received this check for $98,500.00 from a company name Basic Packaging Industries Inc.5591 McAdam Road, MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO L4Z 1N4 CANADA TEL: 416-8932645. I was told to deposit the check into my account to cover the tax on a lottery that i was suppose to have and that some one from the Lottery Board Head Office will be in touch with me after i deposit the check in to my account i am to send an email to psd@financier.com what do i do about this
Although the business and address referenced on the email is real, this is a typical scam.
One thing you can do is contact the actual company that is referenced, and ask them if they are familiar with the person who contacted you, or if they own the website, financier.com. Unless it has changed recently, the phone number for Basic Packaging Industries Inc is +1 (905) 890 0922.
Here’s the company’s website: http://basicpackaging.com
I received a check from TD Canada Trust for 150.000.00 I emailed TD Trust they told me to present it to my bank for collection….
to wendy did the check clear the bank?
Diane,
Make sure you don’t use the contact info or number on the check to contact TD Canada Trust. It may be a fake number… in which case, the person on the other end will tell you it’s a valid check (because he’s part of the scam).
Contact the bank directly (if you find their info).
I looked on the net for customer service at TD Canada Trust and emailed them I also talked to them at the number listed. But I took it to a bank and they said it looked real but they dont do Canadian transactions. I know its not real but wouldnt it be nice…..
I have also already received 2 checkes, one for $98,500.00 and the other for $72,000 from a company name Basic Packaging Industries Inc.5591 McAdam Road, MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO L4Z 1N4 CANADA TEL: 416-8932645. I was told to deposit the check into my account to cover the tax on a lottery that i was suppose to have and that some one from the Lottery Board Head Office will be in touch with me after i deposit the check in to my account and then refund the money to a Bank in china to beneficiary called Wang Jia Lei,Bank Of China, Account: 402010301880638096, I did it thru the my bank in mexico, and have received comunication with Paul jackson, with the email: psd@financier.com, he first was very kind but now that the problem is really very bad due that the defraud me and I am in a serious problem, they dot answer me and now they are asking to send by fedex an amoun of 8000 USD to have the money back, of course they are expecting to get more that they already have. please I beg anyone that can help me to protect myself and to solves this problem with the bank in order that i can sleep, please let me know who must I contact to investigat this situation due that as i know here in mexio there isnt a FBI agengy.
I also received a check for the amount of 68,000.00 usd. i thought the check was also real, but after reading going to their website psd@financer.com and when the website appeared, i noticed the scam alert. i thank you to whom posted their info. on the website to inform others of fraudgelent acts that they are commiting. i thank you and may god bless you all. i received the check today and i thought it was real as well. i thank you again.
sincerly,
angela
i receive a check for 150,000,.00usd and they said put in my account to be cleared but i did not so i am trying to get some body to investegate. angela hill.
I’d received a $150,000 USD check from Elk Valley Coal. I’d like to know if there is a FBI Agency in Mexico to contact and demand to investigate this situation
Thank a lot…
Marce,
The FBI has overseas offices. Below are some contact info that you might find useful in Mexico:
Hope that helps!
I was just apporched by some one that said that I have won $600.000 and I thought no way but they gave me a batch number and some other ref # and sounded like it was ligetmet I pride myself on not getting sucker in these thing but I gamble and lost but I’m not going to give up if any one have heard of the following people then report here’s a list of name’s David Willams,accerited attonery ,dr.Sudhir Mehta and a accounted Anderw Cooper this is a few of them from the lottery of global lottery in AUB an aisa these ass hole will burn you they got $250 of my money and try to get more I’m going to hunt these people down and hopfuling they won’t do this to anybody else so I hope you all learn from this it is to good to be true.
Further to the above commentator, Mr Gregory S Calahan. I too have received an e-mail telling me that i had indeed won $600.000 in the Global Award 2008, whilst i can confirm the names he listed, may i just add another, who also appears to be part of the same scam. His name is supposedly Dr Bill Bright, they will return correspondance but will however refer you to an e-mail address of a Mr David Williams giving his e-mail address as a likely looking solicItors office. If i should have any further communication from them then i will gladly post it here. Yours William Murray (England)
